Exciting news at AMFA 📣 Darrell Walker – head basketball coach at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and an avid collector of African American contemporary art – has been named a new director for the AMFA Foundation. Walker's basketball career spans from the courts of the University of Arkansas to the NBA, evolving into two decades of coaching excellence. “I began collecting art created by African American artists over 30 years ago and have spent a lot of time getting to know artists and discovering new contemporary and emerging artists,” said Walker. “I like to bring my passion for art to my players. I recently took the entire team to view the Whitfield Lovell exhibition at AMFA, and I look forward to continuing to introduce the next generation to the great artists of the past and future.” Walker's journey from coaching on the court to collecting contemporary art showcases his exceptional leadership and deep-rooted commitment to community. Congratulations, Coach Walker 👏🏀
